Description

Harry Truman once said, “The only thing new in the world is the history you don’t know.” So many of the challenges Montana faces today – from controversies over resource extraction to funding shortfalls for public universities to the humane treatment of those committed to our mental health facilities – were also challenges encountered and dealt with by our leaders back in the 1960s and 70s. As someone who came of political age at that time, Evan Barrett has used his direct experience and extensive contacts to make his series “In the Crucible of Change” not only a fascinating history of this pivotal era, but also an essential primer for policy-makers today.
